Tupelo Blue: Tupelo Blue
The album’s highlight, "I Believe It’s True," contains dramatic power and a driving rhythm. Sheldon contributes a stellar Wes Montgomery interlude, Lesher’s harmonica solo lights creative fires, and their lyrics provide lessons in daily living. We go to work every day and we know why things work the way they do. We know right from wrong, but we have to deal with the world around us just the same. It ain’t easy. The blues helps to focus those thoughts, and Tupelo Blue stands out as a convincing messenger.
